The negative letters using selected facts and half-truths to reach pre-determined and inaccurate conclusions about City Council candidates are a disservice to our community. These letters are an insult to the intelligence and integrity of the reader.

Every community with outstanding public spaces makes a statement about itself. A well designed and staffed courthouse, post office, library, and recreational facilities tell residents and visitors alike that the people who live here care enough about each other. They make the small sacrifices necessary to build a home in which their children will want to remain, and which visitors will admire. The Greeks and Romans understood this. Other societies have followed their example.

Ten plane crashes in little more than 6 years

Steamboat Springs has been affected by a rash of plane crashes in recent years. Since 1999, there have been 10 incidents involving aircraft based in Steamboat or flying to or from Steamboat Springs Airport-Bob Adams Field. Fourteen people have died in those incidents.

Voting bloc
I have lived in the Yampa Valley for 10 years but not in the city of Steamboat Springs I have read about the City Council and their activities with great interest for all that time. One observation has become very clear and that is that there is a majority voting bloc that continually votes with the Chamber interests in mind. So much so that they should adopt the motto "Of the Chamber, By the Chamber, and For the Chamber." Just look at the record of votes and actions.

John DeVincentis is the best choice for the District One School Board seat. John has a 20-year history of innovative, thoughtful and dedicated leadership in the Steamboat Springs schools. He will bring those same qualities to the School Board. His success is unparalleled, guiding Strawberry Park Elementary to School of Excellence designation year after year. John understands the ingredients to success. He is the most widely read administrator I've encountered, and he has the vision to implement best practices in our schools.
